Keep the rush

We arrived in Vegas last night and as soon as we got off the interstate my car's alternator started on fire. After that drama we got it towed and Nick came and picked Nate and I up. Nick is a really good poker player who is also from Lincoln and plays under the handle "ahhh_snap". We are staying at this unbevievable house that they rented for the wsop. It's really a beautiful neighborhood and a amazing place, to bad we only get to stay at this house for the week :)

Today we went to the Bellagio and Nate, Nick, and I all played their $500 daily tournament. I played really well and fought through a super cold streak when we were down to two tables. I ended up playing very well at a weak final table and had 85% of the chips when we got down to 3 handed. I talked the other two guys into a deal and took the lions share of the $20,000 prize pool. I ended up with $7,905 and a cool trophy. Vegas is off to a great start.
